apply

Usage

apply(a, n)
a.n

Signature

apply:

(%, MachineInteger) $\to$ T

Parameter	Type	Description
a	%	a linear structure
n	MachineInteger	an index

Returns

Returns the element of $a$ with index $n$. The position of that element depends on the indexing scheme of each actual type, for example if it is $0$-indexed, then $a.n$ returns the ${(n+1)}^{{\rm st}}$ element of $a$, while if it is $1$-indexed, then $a.n$ returns the ${n}^{{\rm th}}$ element of $a$.

Remarks

Bound checking depends on the actual type, some perform it and some do not.
